I haven’t written in a while - we were on vacation, visiting my parents… I was there for 2 weeks.

Oreo sure looks different to me now, I was shocked. She looks huge, even though she’s not, and she looks fat too because her fur so incredibly poofy. I gave her a brushing but she still needs a visit to the groomer’s to fix her up - though nothing can fit the way her fur curls and sticks out everywhere.

Her attitude is still mellow as can be - at 11 years old she just doesn’t give a care to much anymore. We had a big party at my parents’ place in the backyard, and she was just napping between the tables. Such a huge turn-around from how she used to be (overprotective, barky, nippy).

Tessa looks great, she even recognized me. She’s such a funny, funny dog - when she sees you she runs off to grab a toy, she has to have a toy in her mouth when she’s excited. And she doesn’t wag her tail - she wags her whole body. Though the tail is dangerous too, let me tell you.

It was a great vacation, and it was wonderful to see the dogs again. But honestly? I missed Zoe more than anything.
